Grace and Viarnne continue the conversation with the 2025 Empowered Women in Trades Award Winners, and welcome back Service Stream’s Senior Manager of Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion, James Smith, alongside Service Stream’s Chief People Officer, Sarah Bottomley. Service Stream took out the 2025 EWIT Award for an organization with the Most Innovative DE&I Program or Initiative for their brilliant in-house School Holiday Program.

The Award for Most Innovative DE&I Program or Initiative recognises a company or organisation that is creating meaningful pathways for underrepresented groups in trades, by embedding diversity, equity, and inclusion into its culture, partnerships, and workforce strategy – leading by example, they are making DE&I a measurable part of how they grow, lead, and build the future of work.

This great discussion highlights how successful Service Stream's School Holiday Program is for increasing productivity and team wellbeing overall. Plus Sarah gives an overview of how apprenticeships work at Service Stream, the variety of fields they are offered in, and how Service Stream is working towards building a pipeline of roles for women in trades.
